Blue state disgrace

“There are 57,000 kids at the border who need temporary shelter. Shame on the Democratic governors who are turning them away,” writes Emily Bazelon for Slate. The immigrant children pouring into the country “are surely manageable” when “spread among the 50 states,” she says.

Certainly we have room for these children. The problem is what to do with the next 50,000. Also, there are literally millions of children world wide who are in much greater need and danger than these children. Should we not open our doors to them also? You want us to help, but we have little control over the causes of such misery and suffering. Furthermore, why do the Hispanic nations of the Western Hemisphere not step forward to help their Hispanic brothers? Finally, resources which go to helping the refugees could be used instead in helping our own poor. Charity should start at home.
